SAFETY AND HEALTH BEGINS EARLY

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) offers help to the Education Ministry to create awareness of occupational safety and health (OSH) in schools through the “OSH in school programme”. It is recommended for OSH to be introduced in schools due to accidents involving teachers, students and staff. It is aimed at ensuring safety, health and welfare for those at work as well as protecting the students against risk to safety and health in connection with the activities of persons at work.
